Imgur has blocked the UK
- Thread starter Nabinium
- Start date
i use imageshack, i pay like £3 p/m but a good, easy client to use.
Is there anyway we can see all of the uploaded attachments that are linked to our own old posts? Might be useful if we want to re-use them in other posts.

Just signed up, they've a deal on at the moment, £14.92 for the year.
It seems to work well.
Wow! Good price mate!

Doesn't do anything about the wash of purple boxes ablaze on the internet already though, kinda wish someone could come up with a browser plugin that redirected all url's like old.reddit.com but that would probably require a vpn subscription as no site is going to want that kind of traffic throughput without it
Please don’t use postimage:

image Box / 8upload - I use these now but this forum is flooded with purple images. (signatures)

When you click the 'insert media' icon, it gives you a list of approved sites to use:
Are we not able to do something similar for embedding images? People seem to be asking what to use all the time, so writing suggestions somewhere may help.

IIRC the Media button only works with "approved" sources because it parses the URL and presents it on the forum correctly (hence why it's limited).
The image button just takes the URL and adds the img tag to it for the forum, if we had an "approved" list for the image buttonit would rule out anything other than those sites on the list, I think it would actually make it harder for a lot of people who use their own hosting, or other hosts not on the list (they'd possibly have to start adding the tags manually rather than simply copying the url with the image address into the pop up).

Ah fair enough. Given that Imgur is unavailable in the UK for the foreseeable, I still think having a list of suggested sites somewhere would help. On a pinned thread or something.
We have people using troublesome sites like Postimage, as they're unaware of the issues from those sites that have been present on the forum.

When you click the button to add an image, it ahs the text http://. If this is stored some where under the settings for what text to have here, perhaps this could be replaced with suggestions of sites.
Though I guess by the time someone is clicking on the image button, they already have the link to paste so it's too late

Do you all think that in the near future there will be something stable to use again?
Coz I had to get a new phone (galaxyS4) 3 weeks ago and I only learned yesterday how to turn it on and off! Lol!
So I need to be able to use something that's really easy for a simpleton like me.

I hope so...
I am currently using imgbox.com
None of the others I've tried actually work.
